Authors note: I don't own anything.I am a little bit of a Cathy Gale/John Steed shipper so that's why I wrote this little story.

I look at him, John Steed, and I see the charming, attractive man that the world sees.

I know that behind the 'dandy' image and the kind smile, is a good heart and a ruthless streak.

I also know that he is the only man that I have had feeling's for since my husband died.

And, for the record, I have no intention of telling him how I feel.

I am Cathy Gale. I am a strong, independant woman and I don't need (or want) a man to interfere in my life.

I know that John Steed wouldn't do that.

He trust's me and relies on me to do thing's and I like that.

I like how he doesn't feel the need to "save me". He knows that I am more than capable of taking care of myself.

But he is there when I need him.

On paper, John Steed is the perfect man for me.

If only I could trust him.

I know that he keep's thing's from me and when it comes to my heart, I need one-hundred-percent honesty.
